Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Transformational Leadership and Digital Literacy on Employee Performance, both directly and through Employee Agility as a mediating variable at the South Sulawesi Provincial Education Office. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research type. The study population consisted of 358 Civil Servants (PNS), with a sample of 78 respondents determined using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The results showed that Transformational Leadership had a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance, Digital Literacy had a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance, and Employee Agility had a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance. Transformational Leadership and Digital Literacy were also proven to have a positive and significant effect on Employee Agility. Furthermore, Employee Agility was unable to significantly mediate the effect of Transformational Leadership on Employee Performance, so the mediation hypothesis was rejected. Conversely, Employee Agility positively and significantly mediates the influence of Digital Literacy on Employee Performance with a partial mediation pattern. This finding suggests that improving Employee Performance can be supported by strengthening Transformational Leadership, enhancing Digital Literacy, and developing employees' abilities to be proactive, adaptive, and resilient in facing organizational change.
